Brief Summary of Unit
World War II is not just a distant war that is left for historians to discuss. WWII is a culmination of civilization's failure to stop an evil from taking place on our planet. Studying WWII is synonymous with studying our world today. To truly learn from our past we must learn, analyze, and discuss the events that caused World War II as well as the consequences of said war. That is why in this unit we will be more focused on themes and ideals rather than memorizing facts, battles, and terminology. The events of World War II have direct impact on what our world looks like today. From geographical boundaries, to culture, and the conflicts that are present right now. I hope this unit will be a lesson in how the world works equally as much as WWII in general.
